Extra Credit

Interested students
may attempt the following
extra credit programming challenges from
Skiena/Revilla
for a small amount of
additional points -- small enough that you should be motivated primarily
by interest and not greed.

The solutions to these problems must be submitted on
www.programming-challenges.com.
Register for an account and join my CSE 373 extra credit class if you
are intersted.

A schedule for doing these problems that is somewhat consistant
with this course is:
